Horror games with weapons?

[alonbl]

Hey there! I was searching the Web trying to find some modern, decent graphics horror games with weapons such as Condemned but I couldn't find much. Please share some if you can (PC only).
It worth mentioning that the games (horror or horror-ish) I played and liked are: Fear 1+2, manhunt, Alan Wake, Condemned, Dead Space (all), Metro (all) and The Forest.
Cheers.

I guess "Outlast" has weapons.

It's hard to make a horror game that has weapons. Having weapons and being able to attack/kill the source of the horror kinda defeats its ability to scare you. Having said that, it's still doable, relying more on startling the player.

I remember thinking Left 4 Dead was sorta scary when first playing by yourself.

Oh,yes I forgot to say Left 4 Dead has weapons too.

And if you do find that Left 4 Dead can be scary, another similar game would be Dead Island.

F.E.A.R. Series is definitley something you should look into and the campaigns are long to and keep you guessing!

Nope. Just a camera.

Some (including me) will disagree with you:

Well I did say it's harder, not that it's impossible. But personally, whenever I'm given weapons in a game, my objective goes from "Don't die" to "kill shit" and so it doesn't matter what enemy I'm facing, be they a cute bunny or a scary monster, I'm going to try and kill it. Without the weapons it feels scarier to me because I then know that these monsters aren't just enemies with hitpoints that can be shot down.

Undying.

Clicked on the thread to post this. Clive Barker's Undying is one of my all time favorite "horror" shooters.

You can play the Ps2 siren series using an emulator. You get a weapon and can kill the zombies but they come back to life and thus are never really "killed".

Bioshock 1 and 2. The melee combat feels very familiar to Condemned.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Stalker series if you're ok with FEAR.

 

[sash1]

the STALKER series for sure

 

[DigDog]

FEAR

resident evil revelations...It was more "intense" than it was scary but I enjoyed it and it had weapons

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

The original Aliens vs Predator was really scary until you got good enough to twitch shoot things with ease. It wasn't just the startling you part of it. It was just the way everything combined (lighting/music/the motion tracker/always worried about aliens popping up behind you or in front or anywhere) together perfectly with a real sense of dread that you were in danger/could fail. None of the other games came close to replicating it unfortunately, and I don't know how well it really holds up now.

Manhunt - awesome game

 

[DarkKnightDude]

Cry of Fear. Some of the monsters in that are truly freaky.

 

[Scooby Doo]

Manhunt - awesome game

Speaking of manhunt.. what was that old game that you were stuck on an island prison and everything went to hell?

Also Undying gets my vote too

[QueBert]

Dunno how good it was, but they made ManHunt 2 on the PC

That game was called The Suffering. It was really good.

Jericho was a terrible game.

Underhell.

Free Source mod. Loved it....seriously. One of the most well-done mods I've ever played. If you liked F.E.A.R. you will certainly love it.
